Why? Old movies are horrible more often than not. It's not just the special effects either, usually the story telling and character development is just really bad. I feel like we've gotten alot better in the last 15 years at that.

Westworld Indiana Jones Return of the Jedi Jaws Tron Grease Friday the 13th Superman 3 They all sucked.

Some were okay when they came out. Such as Indiana Jones. But Tron. |

Recent films seem to be all action and not much character development but maybe that's just my bias. From the era of the films you listed, I would probably put Godfather I & II at the top of a recommended list for someone under 30. Edited to add: I would give a qualified recommendation to: A Clockwork Orange. It won't have the same shock value today. It will seem funny that there was a controversy over whether it should get a R or X rating. But it is a quirky film that is rather funny if you like your humor dark. Apocalypse Now. The Deer Hunter came out while Apocalypse was still in production, but it was one of the first Vietnam films. The wounds of the war were still really fresh. Does a good job showing how screwed up the war was without being as heavy as some of the other Vietnam films, like Deer Hunter, were. Rocky Horror Picture Show. Way over the top, campy, parody of the horror and sci-fi films of the day. Became a cult classic. Definitely not for everyone. Pink Floyd The Wall. Watching this film is a good way to experience a great album. Last edited by Chief Pagan; 12-30-2017 at 11:10 PM.. |

What the ****? Go take a film class or something. What year were you born? Or, if you don't want to say, what decade?

Very tiny spoiler: Rewatched it last night. Some little things I missed. One of them being JOI's ringtone or whatever being "Peter and the Wolf" and the fact that K was a fan of Treasure Island. Both are stories about boys who perform heroic acts. Kind of ties into K's dream about saving the horse and the actions he takes in the movie after discovering the date on the tree.

I just watched this last night and absolutely loved it. I liked this way better than the first one actually. I might have to go rewatch the first one again just to see if I caught everything I should have.

You plan on watching "The Final Cut" right?

I am not sure I have ever seen "The Final Cut". But I will look for it.

It is Scott's 'vision' untainted by the studio. The released Director's Cut is not actually his cut. So The Final Cut is the one you should try to watch. If you live near Columbia I'll loan you my Bluray. It has all versions I believe.

I prefer the workprint version.
On a semi related note: I read Pale Fire today. I didn't understand it, I'm afraid. |
